French language biographical drama about the marriage between director Jean-Luc Godard and actor Anne Wiazemsky.
Uncertain whether or not to lampoon or truly lay into Godard, in the end this biopic falls between two poles: ironic, given its subject is one of the most decisively committed filmmakers ever.
Endlessly playful Jean-Luc Godard biopic from Michel Hazanavicius.
Handsomely mounted, but rather a misguided and insight-free portrait of an artist.
In the end, it plays like the sort of thin comedy about creativity that Woody Allen (whose better films are also homaged here) regularly knocks out.
Michel Hazanavicius’s account of New Wave master Jean-Luc Godard in the days of the Paris riots is sharply irreverent.
